This added an extra level of security to your backup over the network or if a third party manages to get hold of the backup tape. The keys used to create the encryption should be record and stored in a secure place. In the event of a system failure the data would be irretrievable without the encryption keys. Disaster recovery options are included with larger base packages.... [tags: threats, backup, protection, network]:: 3 Works Cited

Instead of focusing on classes at school, students are constantly worried about the pressure of applications and the strain that comes along with standardized testing. This kind of testing induces much unneeded stress that may generate the student to do poorly on the standardized test. Many educators argue that standardized testing is an accurate way of testing students in the sense that it can compare students for college and that it provides fast results of the students’ knowledge....

The SAT and Its Role in Public Policy
- Today, in the United States, standardized tests are administered every year by states to their Kindergarten-12th grade public school students. Different states place different weight on their standardized testing results where some states differ their funding based on results and annual improvement, whereas other states allow schools to simply gauge where their students are scoring relative to other schools in the state. These tests, however, are only standardized within one state. One of the few tests standardized throughout the entire country is the SAT, the Scholastic Aptitude Test, administered by College Board and required by, “More than 800 of the nation’s colleges and universities,”...

Fixing the Canadian Productivity Lag
- In a November 2011 Globe and Mail Blog, the author concludes that lagging Canadian productivity up to 2008 (compared to the USA) has cost Canadians $7500 annually in disposable income. This was one of the conclusions of a model simulation conducted by the Conference Board of Canada (Arcane & Lefebvre, 2011). Additionally, the model relates that real GDP would have been $8500 higher in 2008 while corporate profits would have been 40 per cent higher and government revenues would have been 31 per cent higher (Grant, 2011), had Canada kept up with the USA....

Gross Domestic Product
- Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted’ a famous quote by Cameron (1963) which is very insightful and interesting. He explains what many in the 21st century are trying to do so as well, and reminds us that there are many things which have more to them than what we count them for in our books. GDP is essentially measuring and counting all of the economic output/input of an economy in terms of money. In this essay I will be addressing the key terms and explaining how GDP is a good measure in some ways, but does not fully reflect the reality of wealth and wellbeing....

Social Security Benefit Indexing
- Social security benefit payments put increasing pressure on the Federal budget. The Social Security Administration has estimated that the system could become insolvent by 2041. With the U.S. national debt at over $17 trillion, or about $54,000 per person, reforming Social Security to ensure its solvency is a major problem for economic policymakers. One proposal to tighten benefits it to change the automatic cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for payments. In order to maintain recipients’ purchasing power, social security benefits currently rise from year to year based upon a measure of inflation: this is the cost-of-living adjustment....

Failures in Research Measuring the Standard of Living
- Standard of living was measured by household asset and material possessions; using an INFHS standard of living index. Possessions were given a weighted average and added up. Each household was assigned to a quintile that ranges from high to lower quintile. Asset indices measure SEP at the household level in an attempt to quantify the material aspects of living conditions and its interpretation is hinged on the relationship of the individual to the household. Subramanian et al failed in measuring life course SEP.... [tags: assets, indicator, gender]

Classical Music: Gustav Mahler
- Gustav Mahler is now a world-renowned composer of classical music. He wasn’t always looked upon as highly during his working career as he is now posthumously. From Austria and of Jewish decent, Mahler began his musical career like many composers do, with the piano. He soon took to a formal musical education and grew to compose twelve full symphonies among his various other works. Mahler’s music fell into a part of musical history called the Romantic Period. Ranging from 1820 to 1900, the later portion of this period captured his works.... [tags: emotions, love and loss, composer]:: 3 Works Cited

Pools and Riffles Within a River: The River Teme
- Using the results gathered from a recent field study at the The Leigh Brook, suggest the morphological, hydrological and sediment differences between the Pool and Riffle. Within a river there are areas known as pools and riffles. The pool is an area of deeper slow moving water, whereas the river is an area of shallow, fast flowing white water. The rocks are also clearly visible at the riffle, but submerged in the pool. A pool is usually found on a meander whereas the riffle is normally seen on the straighter areas of the channel, they tend to be situated very close to one another, forming in sequences....

Handel's Oratorio: Messiah
- Handel’s Messiah No. 9 (measure 107-138) Handel’s Messiah is a Baroque-era, awe-inspiring composition; rich with history, profound in meaning, and intensely intimidating when asked to dig deep into its inner workings. When first receiving this assignment, I was overwhelmed by what I was being asked to do. But after analyzing and critiquing the melody, adding figured bass symbols, macro-analyzing the chords, adding roman numerals, and commenting on the voice leading in chords moving in root position, I feel as if I have only scratched the surface of all Handel put into the Messiah....

Density is a monophonic work that is characterized by extreme dynamics, angular motives, timbral variety, and complex rhythms. During the span of sixty-one measures, Varèse exploits the flute’s full range of sound and color and almost every pitch on the instrument is realized....

The Importance of Function Over Form in the Classical Concerto
- In the 18th century, the concerto was transformed into a viable instrumental genre to both demonstrate virtuosity as well as a cohesive character that embodied the natural. Though the series of changes from the Baroque concerto grosso to the Classical concerto were gradual and cannot be attributed to a single composer, the Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor K. 466 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a skillful representation of the genre in that era. Of particular interest in this concerto is the treatment of sonata form in the first movement.... [tags: Classical Music]:: 7 Works Cited

Are Standardized Tests a Valid Measurement of Student Learning?
- “Standardized testing is one of the most passionately debated education topics in America” (Baxter, pg. 1). They became much more prevalent after the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act mandated annual testing across the United States. Standardized tests are used to assess students and teachers, however some people object the idea that the performance on a single test is a valid measure of what a student has learned, or what their teacher has taught them. In this paper I will argue that relying solely on standardized testing for student placement damages education.... [tags: achievement, bias, education ]

Cost Utility Analysis of Co-Prescribed Heorin Compared with methadone
- The paper details a study conducted to assess two treatment methods for heroin addicts. The first one is the methadone maintenance treatment, and the second is methadone supplemented with heroin. Although, the latter is known for its better effects on patients, both mentally and physically, it requires more health care resources and therefore might not be efficient on a societal level. Benefits of a co-prescribed heroin treatment could be in the form of longer term cost efficiencies, manifested by the decrease of both the need for healthcare services, and crime rates....
